Nonreligious Nerd: December 2009
http://nonreligiousnerd.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 24, 2009. Apparently I've Reached the Big Time. I got the "honor" of being trolled by that jackass David Mabus. If that name isn't familiar, he is the guy who rants about how evil atheists are, and mentions Nostradamus. Here is his comment, in full. It seems to be the same screed he has been copypasting on several sites. Looks like your website is under attack from supernatural forces. First of all: Nostradamus demolishes "atheism". You little shits even talk about me. But not this one!

Science, Skepticism, Atheism. The Hall of Shame. The Dragon In My Garage. 20 Common Logical Fallacies. Urine: Fuel of the Future? This morning I spotted an interesting post in my Facebook feed about a group of Nigerian school girls who had invented a generator that uses urine as fuel. According to this article on Forbes.com. But the real problem with this story is the very first step in the urine-electricity generation process:. Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.

Science, Skepticism, Atheism. The Hall of Shame. The Dragon In My Garage. 20 Common Logical Fallacies. How Science Works: As told by the Higgs boson. In Large Hadron Collider.

Science, Skepticism, Atheism. The Hall of Shame. The Dragon In My Garage. 20 Common Logical Fallacies. The Hall of Shame. A very special place for all the worst comments I get on my blog. I’ve decided to stop censoring comments. I think it is a terrible thing to do and have only had to censor a handful of comments in the lifespan of this blog. But, starting from today I will be showcasing the worst comments, instead of covering them up. I just feel better about it this way. Im guessing no….you ...You ear...

Is Ata an alien? | The Skeptic Detective
https://skepticdetective.wordpress.com/2013/05/13/is-ata-an-alien
Science, Skepticism, Atheism. The Hall of Shame. The Dragon In My Garage. 20 Common Logical Fallacies. Is Ata an alien? In the last couple of days I’ve seen quite a kerfuffle about Ata. The mummified remains of a 6-inch tall “humanoid” found in Chile. I thought it was an interesting story when I first read it and I thought it was all over, as the Science Now article I read pretty much explained it completely. But then, this morning, one of my friends shared this on Facebook:. 8220;Obviously, it was breat...
